Deleting Multiple Images in imessage

This is not an easier option as it means you will have to scroll through you entire message history looking for photos to select. On top of this, often times after scrolling and selecting a number of photos, the phone will glitch and deselect everything and you will have to start over. Not helpful

Sorry you don't feel what I provided is helpful. I have nothing to do with iOS or how Apple has changed anything. If you don't like what they've done, don't be critical of me, tell Apple what you think using the link I provided above.

that does 0 to respond to the question/complaint. Pre iOS 13, you could go into a message, tap the 'i' and go into the attachments from that text thread and had the ability to tap on multiple pics/gifs and then choose to delete all the ones you've tapped. now you have to tap each one individually to delete.

Again, you must assume I have ANYTHING to do with iOS. No one here works for Apple. This is a user to user ONLY forum.

Telling me you don't like something, get's you nothing. Complain to Apple, not me. All I can do is tell you what is available. If you don't like it, that's fine. But I'm not responsible for iOS functionality, so tell Apple using the link I provided above.

Ok—that remains as it was before, but having to do this by scrolling through tons of pages is even more time consuming than deleting one by one in the all photos view.

I don’t get it Apple, WHY make an upgrade that takes more of our time??? If it’s to push us to pay for iCloud storage, well that’s just rotten.

Yes. But usually the changes are an adjustment to get used to, but not in this way, removing badly needed functionality.

I wish Apple gave a crap about what their customers need, want, and care about, seems like there is no way to give them feedback in any meaningful or collective way.

Rbrylawski Im going to recommend you don’t take things so personally and take a step back. When people including myself point out that your post is Not helpful it is because we want Apple to understand that the issue is not being solved in this discussion/thread, and that your suggestions specifically is not helpful. People will respond when your suggestion isn’t working deal with it. I and I’m sure everyone else has used the link you provided or contacted Apple in some form to raise this issue. If you’re going to take criticism personally then stop posting

If you want Apple to understand anything, this isn't the place to tell them. Apple isn't on this forum, as I've tried to explain. Apple isn't reading your posts. Apple won't do anything because you posted here.

So telling ME that providing the facts on how it works in iOS 13 isn't helpful is worthless and won't get you what you want.

I'm done here. You can moan and whine to each other or use the link I provided if you want Apple to hear you.

This helps. I forgot to mention this. Nice post, thanks.

I recommend everyone here still post the issue on Apple feedback. They do listen and maybe if they get enough complaints about removed features, they will bring them back. The thing that worries me is that it takes writing code which is a purposeful act to change the way things behave. That’s not terribly reassuring.

Agreed. My point is directed to Apple. If the thread includes a comment that is not helpful it has to be pointed out and that doesn’t mean there was bad intent. Now how do we iOS13 users delete multiple photos within iMessages like we could in iOS12? Thank you 😀

Wow I’m so happy I found this! I’ve been very cautious and I’m still on 12.4.1 on my iPhone 7.

Do you guys remember how long it took them to fix deleting the messages in iOS 12 in the info section in messages?!? It took till like 12.4. I was and still am so happy it’s fixed... but woah what?!? They took it away in iOS 13?! Ha! Yeah there’s another reason I’m sticking on 12.4.1 for even longer.

Hey R. Brylawsky, that’s not actually any good. Let’s say I have a message string with a friend that’s got 3,873 exchanges (we talk a lot). And we’ve sent between ourselves 137 photos. And I want to delete them to save space. If I try it your way I will be doing it all day, because I have to scroll through for ages and wait for each old section to come up out of the cache again before I can put the little dot next to the photos. By the time I’ve selected 7 or 8 photos, I’m so far up the chain that iMessage starts to forget the last ones I dotted. If I accidentally press on a photo too long, it pops up and all my selections get unselected.

Why don’t you guys just admit you messed up and put the “multiple select from info list” function back? Like my handle, don’t take away good features !!

Why don't you understand we guys DON'T work for Apple. I am a user as you are a user as is everyone else posting on this forum. NO ONE ON THIS FORUM WORKS FOR APPLE. So we guys didn't mess up as we don't have anything to with Apple or iOS specifically.

The way you can delete is so user unfriendly! If you want delete photo’s over a period longer than a couple days it’s a ****. It’s not even an attachment functionality, it’s a message delete functionality. We all love Apple, but you have to be critical. We pay a lot for the products. Everything they made should me user friendly, super easy, functional and logical..when we use a Apple device or service it must give user satisfaction!

You’re hilarious dude. It clearly says in the terms of use that Apple can edit and remove post as well as post directly to help people just not “formally provide tech support”. Also you’re the one getting super defensive every time someone says your suggestion is not helpful. Not sure why that’s so hard to accept. You’ve also clearly stated in this discussion that you’ve never used the thumbnail view for anything and “don’t even know what it is tbh” Hahahah if you want to keep crying about people not liking your suggestion go ahead, I’ll turn off my email notifications. AusCigaro has given a decent suggestion so I’m gonna go with that for now. Have fun living with yourself bryguy ;)
